Friday walk-through update

Oregon coach Mike Bellotti reiterated Friday that freshman quarterback Darron Thomas and sophomore receiver Jamere Holland would not be disciplined for being passengers in a speed-racing car crash early Thursday morning in Springfield.

"When you're in a car with a driver you obviously put yourself in the driver's hands," Bellotti said at the Ducks' walk-through at Autzen Stadium.

Bellotti said "it's possible" that disciplinary actions could later be taken on redshirt freshman linebacker Eddie Pleasant, who was arrested and cited for reckless driving, a misdemeanor, and speed racing, which is a traffic violation. Pleasant, who has been ordered to appear at Springfield Municipal Court, crashed into a car that carried three passengers, including a 1-year old.

"The discipline process is usually always in-house," Bellotti said. "I would assume first of all that the police will try to find the other driver that was at fault. And he'll go to court and then we'll probably figure out what happens after that."

Thomas, who suffered a bruised right elbow in the accident, remains in contention to start Saturday's game at Washington State.

"His elbow is OK," Bellotti said. "He's had no side effects, no ill effects and it didn't swell up anymore so we would anticipate that he'd be full-go for the game."

Pleasant, who is out 5-to-7 days after receiving 75 stitches on a forehead wound, and Holland (concussion) did not make the trip to Washington State. Pleasant, a back-up linebacker and special teams standout, wore a white bandage that covered his forehead and right eye at Oregon's walk-through Friday.

Bellotti on OSU's win: Not that Oregon needed another reason not to overlook Washington State, but it came in the form of Oregon State's 27-21 win over No. 1 USC on Thursday.

"I think Oregon State played a tremendous football game and really outplayed 'SC and 'SC didn't seem to have an answer to that," Bellotti said. "Oregon State had a great plan and stuck to that plan. That reminds us -- and last week (against Boise State) should have reminded us - that it doesn't really matter where you play. When you go on the road you have to be better than the home team and I think 'SC will attest to that."

"Very pleased to offer them a scholarship," Bellotti said. "I don't know if we've ever gone to four (at the same time) I have to admit. But it's just sort of where we're at right now in terms of numbers. We have the opportunity to offer those scholarships and those kids we felt were deserving of them. It's for one season and then we'll reevaluate afterwards."
